Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus

Bedside sleepers let you have your baby in the same space with you, without the risks associated with bed-sharing. They're a great choice for infants.

Models with adjustable height positions can be placed perfectly on all bed frames. Also, look for fabrics with breathable fabric that are easy to clean.

Safety

A bedside cot is basically an upholstered bassinet that is attached to the bed's side for secure co-sleeping. It can be used to pull your baby towards you for comfort, feeding or to soothe your baby at the night. It's also an excellent alternative if you've had a c section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot because it has high sides so your baby can't fall out. Some models have a tilt function which can help babies suffering from reflux and colic. They are also slightly bigger than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room room.

The NHS and The Lullaby Trust, a safe sleep charity, suggest that babies be placed in a bassinet or cot in same room with their parents. They shouldn't be sleeping in your bed. This is due to bed sharing increasing the chance of suffocation and overheating. Bedside cribs offer the best of both worlds, allowing your baby to be close to you during the night, but still in their own private and secure sleeping space.

Make sure the crib is compliant with the most current safety standards. It should be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure that there are no gaps or areas where your child could become trapped. Also, look for a mattress that's solid and flat. A sagging mattress or one that is too soft may increase the risk of SIDS for your child.

Lastly, look for a bedding that's fitted and free of loose blankets or pillows. Pillows are a suffocation risk and duvets can be a hazard on the baby bedside cot's face. It's a good idea to use a fitted sheet instead but ensure it fits properly.

Our MFM mother testers have discovered that the SnuzPod4 is an excellent option for a bedside crib, shortlisted in 2021's Mother&Baby Awards in the best bedside cot Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket category. It is secure to the bed and features an adjustable height that allows for a perfect fit. It also has a rocking feature and can be set to an incline for reflux. It's a great option for people with narrow or small beds as it does not take up a lot of room.

Design

The design of a crib for the bed is important as it is the place where your child will spend the majority of their time. There are many cribs available in a variety of colours that will match your decor. Some cribs have features like mesh windows to keep your baby's view or drop-down sides that make it easier to access. Some cribs even have incline functions to ease reflux.

You can raise and lower the majority of cribs to the height of your bed making it easier for you to get in and out of bed. There are even some that are made to work as travel cots, which are great when you're traveling or visiting relatives.

Leya Leya, an MFM mum and home tester, realized that the SnuzPod 4 was a great fit for her bedroom decor. She also loved its compact fold, which helped save space. She also appreciated the fact that the crib's one side can be adjusted to lower, letting her pick up her baby without having to get out of bed. This is particularly helpful if you have had C-sections or recovering from an Caesarean which allows you to stay close to your baby for longer.

Another mom who was happy using the SnuzPod 4 is Jasmine who noted that it was simple to move from room room - something she didn't discover with other bedside cribs she tested. She did note that the handle was stiff and required quite a bit of effort to lift the crib.

The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air is another crib for bed that is easy to fold and move. It was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in their Best Cot or Crib category. Its slim frame and neutral colors will fit in with most bedrooms, although some of our testers at home felt the bars were too close together, which means they could get caught on clothing or toys for babies. The bars' distance should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) to avoid your baby's head from becoming trapped. This crib is ideal for babies with reflux too, as its ComfortAir breathability technology helps regulate temperature.

Comfort

Keeping your baby close throughout the night will give you peace of mind, but you need to be able to reach them quickly for middle-of-the-night feeding. You can easily do this without having get out of bed with a crib at your bedside baby bed. They also make it easy to calm babies back to sleep. If you want to be able to sleep with your child, but don't want to hassle with having to get up every time they're fed, a moses-basket can be an excellent alternative.

Most cribs that are bedside can be attached to the side of your bed and allow you to view and access your baby easily. They often have a mesh window to allow you to check on your baby without disturbing them. They might also have a reflux setting to help with reflux or colic.

This crib comes with a wide range of features, but we're most impressed by the ComfortAir breathable Mattress that regulates the temperature of your baby's body and increases airflow. It's smaller than other cribs which can be beneficial in areas that are limited in space. Our mum testers agree that this crib is an excellent option for those long, sleepless nights.

The cot is secured to the bed's side using adjustable straps. This reduces the possibility of gaps in which your child could become trapped. It comes with a firm, flat mattress that complies with safety standards and encourages good sleep habits.

One thing to keep in mind is that your baby may begin to leave the crib once they're able to sit up, usually around six months. It is essential to place your child in a cot or a different sleeping arrangement, once they outgrow their crib.

Another aspect to think about is how light the crib is and if it's suitable for travel. Some of our mothers love the fact that this crib can be disassembled to transport it however, others find it difficult to assemble. It is also difficult to keep clean and you'll need to clean it regularly using a cloth or cleaning product.

Stores

A bedside cot suitable for 6 months and older is a bassinet-style bed that can be attached to the side of your mattress for safe co-sleeping. They are great for feeding at night and calming babies to sleep and allowing mothers who've had C-sections to keep their baby close.

When selecting a crib that is bedside it is important to ensure that it is in line with current safety standards. Make sure that the bars on the crib are spaced sufficiently apart to prevent your child's head from getting trapped. Also, ensure that the drop-down sides are secure and doesn't open unintentionally. Do not place stickers or transfer on the floor of the cot since they could pose an choking risk.

Emily's top pick for a bedside cot is the Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It's a great size and offers plenty of storage space to store all the baby necessities. It's also compact and light enough to fit into its travel bag in case you need to move it from room to room. If you're looking for something less complicated, she recommends Shnuggle Air beside Crib.
